Praise for Geoff Pevere: After almost 30 years of writing about the movies, Geoff Pevere's anti-establishment views are just as strong as ever, but now he wears them as com-fort-ably as an old leather jacket. He has always been more inter-ested in broad-ening people's interests than in trying to narrow them. In an age with almost unlim-ited access to film, just one stream in an onrushing tide of media, this is daring. For the boy who once had to wait months to see Citizen Kane , how-ever, it's simply a ges-ture of generosity. -- Toronto Screen ShotsPraise for Teenage Head: Venom and his sidekick, songwriter/guitarist Gord Lewis, deserved to be much bigger stars than they were. They likely would've been if not for a streak of bad luck that turned triumph into turmoil at every stage of Teenage Head's three decade run. -- NOW Magazine
